The spore-bearing sporangiophores of Phycomyces are very sensitive to different environmental signals including light, gravity, wind, chemicals, and adjacent objects. They exhibit phototropic growth: most Phycomyces research has focused on sporangiophore photobiology , such as phototropism and photomecism ('light growth response').
The most common species is B. cinerea, which is a plant pathogen causing gray mould on a very broad range of hosts including some common ornamental plants, such as geranium, begonia, rose, lily, dogwood, rhododendron, dahlia, magnolia, camellia [3] [4] and fruits and produce. This fungus is mainly of outdoor origin, although it may be from ...
Arbuscular (from arbuscula, Latin for “tiny tree”) mycorrhizal (“fungus-root”) fungi have ancient origins as plant symbionts. The earliest fossil evidence of a glomeromycete arbuscule, the site of plant-fungi exchange, is known from the Rhynie Chert, which dates to 407 million years ago, during the Lower Devonian. [4]
A printable chart to make a spore print and start identification. The spore print is the powdery deposit obtained by allowing spores of a fungal fruit body to fall onto a surface underneath. It is an important diagnostic character in most handbooks for identifying mushrooms. It shows the colour of the mushroom spores if viewed en masse. [1]
Spinellus fusiger, commonly known as bonnet mold, [1] is a species of fungus in the phylum Mucoromycota. It is a pin mold that is characterized by erect sporangiophores (specialized hyphae that bear a sporangium ) that are simple in structure, brown or yellowish-brown in color, and with branched aerial filaments that bear the zygospores .
The inner surface of the cup is the fertile, spore-bearing hymenium; it is initially white before turning buff, tan, or brownish. The whitish stem does not typically become longer than 1 cm (0.4 in). [2] The asci (the spore-bearing cells) are cylindrical or roughly so, reaching dimensions of 225–250 μm long by 15 μm wide.
A cluster of conidiophore s bearing the spore mass, like a cushion. [363] statismospore A spore that is not forcibly discharged, unlike a ballistospore. Seen in the basidiospores of Gastromycetes. From Gr. statis, immobility. [364] stellate Like a star in form, especially spores. [365] sterigma. pl. sterigmata
Rhizopus stolonifer is commonly known as black bread mold. [1] It is a member of Zygomycota and considered the most important species in the genus Rhizopus . [ 2 ] It is one of the most common fungi in the world and has a global distribution although it is most commonly found in tropical and subtropical regions. [ 3 ]
